Résumé

Ang presents this paper as part of Business Session 8. In it, she outlines some of the significant developments in maritime law that have taken place in 1998 and part of 1999 in Singapore, and within selected jurisdictions in Asia, namely China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As Ang notes, the discussion in this paper on developments in jurisdictions other than Singapore are largely based on responses or material provided by foreign correspondents, and on the author's understanding of such responses or materials.
